1The University of Sheffield, Thursday 19 February 2015.
Venue: The Council Room, The University of Sheffield, Firth Court, Western Bank, Sheffield, S10 2TN.
Finding Firth Court
Parking at the University is extremely limited. If you are travelling to Sheffield by car, you may find the tram park and ride facilities easier than trying to park near campus. Get off the tram at the University tram stop (all yellow and blue routes stop here) and walk up to the roundabout, turning left onto Western Bank. Firth Court is on the right hand side of this dual carriageway (there are a number of crossing points and also an underpass by the Students Union), approximately 5 minutes’ walk from the tram stop.
Directions to the Council Room
Go into Firth Court (Building number 105, block D3 on this map) through the main doors at the front of the building. Straight up the stairs in front of you, turn right at the top and follow the corridor along until you come to the Council Room.
For disabled access, there is a Porters’ Lodge at the entrance to the building. Please ask here for directions to the lift.
